    Bumper repaint or blend?

    If I remember correctly the upper cover is Polypropylene and not a substrate that would take fiberglass mat. It will easily pull off. Plastic welding with a appropriate plastic rod will bond to and fill any cracks. Again,not everyone knows how to plastic weld but is it not very hard. You have to...

    Seat Leather Skins/Cover Replacement DIY

    I've done scores of seat covers and at least 25 for the NSX. Each one is a little different. Some need additional foam or foam repair. I've steamed some to get them to fluff back up. Takes time, patience and tools. After the first ten years you start to get really good. :) Nice video!
